No one ever worried about them "crossing." (Except, maybe, crossing the
ocean.) If mites were controlled we wouldn't be losing bees to the pathogens
that they vector.
They are known to host Tropilaelaps Clareae, a mite worse than varroa. What
experience do you have with this mite? It may be that these bees have
accommodated to other, invisible nasties that haven't had a lot of study.
